Even a great QB needs a solid defense. Mediocre QBs need great defenses.

Our defense did shit itself mightily, but Hundley played well enough to go .500. You can’t have 13 drops two weeks in a row and expect to win. Even with Aaron Rodgers.

Some teams have won the super bowl with very average QB's. You NEED a excellent defense. We had one in 2010.
We SHOULD have gone all the way in 2014.
If our D and new coordinator can turn us into at LEAST a decent D, we might have a chance.

It is hard to win when most of your top paid talent is either injured or not living up to what they are being paid.

Defense AND offense under produced.
Had AR stayed healthy, we would have made the playoffs, and would have at most won one playoff game.
I'm glad now what happened did happen. It caused the major changes too happen. Otherwise nothing would have changed.
Maybe we will have a chance now, before Rodgers' career ends.

I mean let's face it, that Pittsburgh game was just a damn lightning bolt. Ben does that to alot of teams. I mean, Hundley is what he is. He needs to work in his accuracy mid to deep, and he needs to anticipate better. Know the routes, know the WRs, throw them open by leading them with the ball. Know when the dude is gonna make his move to separate. Put the ball on the dime.

2: Our star QB needs to stop holding the team's cap hostage so we can afford to field a great defense. I mean our D has much better players than the sum of them have produced under Dom, but you can't have it both ways.

I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about how the franchise is "wasting" Aaron's career, when dude is accounting for $20+ per. And btw, he wants to redo that to get more.
